Sick In Bed

The common cold
Has caught up with me,
Someone make me
A bowl of chicken soup
And I shall perk up
In no time!

No fun with the
Nose running and coughing,
Someone get the
Kleenexes and drops
And I shall be
Good as new!

No honest, I'm not
Playing anyone for a fool,
I really am sick;
Cut me some slack -
Besides, I deserve
A day off anyway!

Us

Underneath the cherry tree,
The wind blowing her hair;
Take me along with you
As it waves wherever your heart desires.

Underneath the cherry tree,
Lips touching yours; lips touching mine,
Take me along with you
As they take the bitterness away from my tongue.

Underneath the cherry tree,
Offering her hand; she accepts with tears of joy,
The wind blowing her hair,
Lips touching yours; lips touching mine.

Underneath the cherry tree,
Saying vows with loving souls witnessing,
The wind blowing her hair,
Lips touching yours; lips touching mine.

I Miss Those Moments

We're far apart now; it's as though
We can't reach the other anymore,
We've disconnected, and should let that go;
Though at times I miss those moments.

I miss those days when
We would say "hello"
Without words, we'd smile
And our days seemed brighter -
At times I wonder what caused this wall.

At times I hope and pray
This wall would break
So we could see eye to eye,
Those moments and days would exist once more.

If this wall is for the best,
Let it be that we should go
Separate ways for the better;
That it is - though at times
I miss those moments and those days.

A Remarkable Saint

Only a child at fourteen,
You humbly obeyed Our Mother -
And trusted the Virgin's eyes
As you carried out what
You were meant to fulfill.

With a loving heart
And soul, you cared for
The ill and dying -
While the people came to you
For hope and a miracle.

Because of this, you became
A saint; a devoted daughter
To God and the Virgin -
As well as an angel to your
Brothers and sisters of Lourdes.

You shall be praised
For your mission and gift of love;
I shall give the gift
To my own kin and perhaps -
Give my daughter your name.

Truth

I'll be honest,
I never was known to believe -
But when I see a mother loving her child,
There's no word for the feeling or expression.
When I'm about to shoot an animal for sport,
I cannot tell the guilt yet relief
When I see little ones waiting for her.
When compassion is needed,
I'm gladly there to give it.
When a rainbow appears,
I feel nothing -
But peace and tranquility coming over me.
When I've done wrong, I express
My apology and do what I can
To make the puzzle fit into one again.
But I'll be honest,
As God as my witness;
I was never known to believe.

A Special Place

I have a special place
In my heart for you.
No one can see
Or touch that spot.

You make me feel
Secure when I'm with you -
You're everything I've
Always wanted in a friend.

Every time I talk to you,
My eyes sparkle in ways
They never have -
We smile gaily.

I've never been
So happy before -
You're my best friend;
I adore you.

I promise you -
The special place
I'll always hold
For you.
